THE SUN. LONDON, JPEDNESDAY EVENING, 41f ARC II 22, 11126. By a Ilamburgh Mail which arrived this morn ing, comcnuuications have been received from the different Capitols in the North of Europe. It is stated from Stockholm, that a Special Mission to St. Petersburgh has been appointed, for the purpose of attending the funeral of the late Em. PERON who is styled His MAJESTY'S Friend " and COmpanion in Arnis." Whatever may be the sentiments and feelings of the Arch duke CONSTANTINE, who is said to entertain a strong, friendship for the ex-Monarch of SWZDEN---it were surely beyond probability, that Ar.txminEn should have contemplated. the re m►oval of tl►e family of BERNADOTTE, from a rank Which had received' such repeated confirmation from every legitimate of Europe. The reigning lrnperor NICHOLAS has avowed a resolution to Persevere in the line of policy so steadily pur eued by ALEXANDER., of which his known friend ship for BERNAPOViE was a prominent feature. It is beyond all question, that the accession of BERNAnorru to the league against NAPO. Ltort, contributed essentially to the result of that event, which was justly considered as the precursor of his fall, the battle of Leipsic. Had h e remained fi rm to the interest of Nalco. that memorable campaign might have ter minated with a different re s ult, and there can be 41 4 rational ground for surmising that .the merits of lituNAnorrE in that respect, have ceased to be PPreciated by the Holy Alliance. If the resto rntidtl of the exiled family . to Royalty be deemed essential, Gre ece presents a brilliant point for th e es tittAishment of a new Dynasty—of which, if G usTANus be deemed to possess adequate quali ties, he inikht bec ome the founder, under the gua rantee of the, vent allied Powers. It will be holm 3 543" by our extracts from the Stock ' apc rs ) that the commercial crisis through which England is now passing, has been deeply felt in Its consequences throughout Sweden. At Gottosburg, it appears that several eminent houses have sunk beneath the pressure of the times, and business is in a state of general stag- nation : ARSAN, MAUCH 4. By a • resolution of his Majesty, the uniform of a Polish General. which the late Ethperor used to wear when he was in the midst of the Representat►ves of the City of Poland, shall be preserved as a dear and valuable memorial in the Archives of the Senate. BERLIN, MARCH IL His Excellency Count Lieven has arrived here from London, and immediately proceeded on his way to St. Petersburg!). MAncII 14.—The British Cabinet Messenger, Dykes, and the Russian Courier, Wimmir, has both passed through on their way front London to St. Petersburg!). STOCKHOLM, MACH 7. As Field Marshal, Count Stcdingk, whom the King had chosen tier the important and honourable mission to St. Peters burgh, cannot undertake the jour ne y at present, on account of his great age and the inclement season, but will go to St. Peters burgh at a later period, his Majesty has appointed 11fajor-Ge neral Count Brahe to go to St. Petersburg!' to attend the fune ral of the late Emperor, and to pay the last tribute to the manes of a Prince, who was his Majesty's friend and companion in arms. Count Brahe will be accompanied by two Aide-de. Camps.. He is expected to be back by the middle of It is said that he will take the insignia of the Order of the Seraphim for the Grand Duke Alexander, the Efuperdr's eldest son The accounts from tlottenburg arc very alarming. Seven I or eight houses are said to have stoppe d p a y ment, and among others, that of l'rytz, to have failed for 400,0110 rix dollars banco. It is said that the merchants of that town intend to send a deputation to his Majesty - to solicit a loan, in order to avert a more fatal crisis. The Colombian Government has paid 00,0001. sterling for the Chapman frigate, which sailed from Sweden last summer. STOCK HOLM, MAltell 10. The terrible commercial crisis which is now felt in the chief mercantile cities in Europe has extended its consequences to us. Some Gottenhurg houses have stopped payment, hut it is hoped that the most of them will be able soon to begin again. Our Exchange has not been much affected by these misfor tunes, and the loss of those who had the most connection with Goldsmith is inconsiderable; but events in England have bad an immediate and very injurious effect. All advances on the timber exported have been refused, and several considerable orders have been revoked. - The owners of the great saw-mills in Wermeland have asked relief of the Go vernment, and the Government of Gottenburg has represented the bad effects that the failures may have on the iron trade. because the funds from which the owners of the iron-works at the fair of (Thristinehamms receive advances towards the end of the month, have been necessarily employed in covering the pro tested bills of exchange. Ili% Majesty ordered sonic Mem bers of the Council of State to examine into the matter, the Deputies of the Iron-Office have expressed their readiness to employ that part of the 60,000 dollars allowed by the Diet for such purposes which is not yet disposed of. His Majesty has also caused 250,000 dollars to be paid to the Deputies of the Iron-Office, with which it is hoped the present exigencies may be met. ST. PETERSBUTIGIT, M ARCH r. The following is the tenor of thy; letter of his Ilajexty to the Archduke Ferdivand of Este, appointing him Uotnmander of a Regiment of hussars:— " The feelings of respect and sincere friendship with which your Imperial Highness has inspired me, have excited in me wish, which I hasten to communicate to you. I wish that the Russian may have the honour of counting among its members the August Prince, who, at the very beginning of the ever memorable contest gave an example of, the glorious me mory of which will be preserved by history ; and 1 feel myself personally flattered by being able to give your Imperial High. lICAA this distinguished mark of my sentiments. I have accord.: ingly ordered that the Isam regiment of Hussars shall hence. forward bear the name of the II ussara of the Archduke Verdi ' nand of Este. In announcing this resolution to your Imperial Highness, I take with real pleasure tie opportunity of repeat. ing the assurances of my inviolable attachment. NICHOLAS.

It appears from the accounts received yestt.r. day, that the war between Brazil and Buenos Ayres is likely to be conducted with a spirit of hostility characterized by a bitterness on the part of the latter, greatly resembling (hat which was manifested by France during the highest effervescence of her republican GOvernment. The epithets " Despot, Usurper, Tyrant," are applied as liberally by the Chief of the Buenos Ayrian forces,us they ever were by evrti the most furious of the French Deputies. certainly will not he viewed in Europe, as indicating thnt moderation which mieht unques- tionably tend still more to conciliate the feelings of those European Governments which are dis posed to recognize us independent States, the Republics of the new world. It remains to be seen, what political e ff e ct w ill be produced in Brazil by the death of the late King of PORTUGAL. That Don Primo should resign the ancient inheritance of the Braganza Family, would imply a degree of philosophical judgment,of which that Prince will hardly be sus pected ; and hence a dilemma must be produced of which it were impossible, with any degree of probability, even to conjecture the possible consequences. Meanwhile a naval force from England, stationed in the Tagus, will protect the Regency at Lisbon, from ally attempt that may be made by DoN Miouri,, or his partizans, to rouse a spirit of opposi tion to his Imperial Brother, whose Kr splice in the capital of Port ugir I, but for the war with Buenos Ayres, might be con fid e ntly expected. Whether he will venture to leave Brazil at the present crisis, must he consi dered doubtful. I f there be, as has been as serted, a Republican party in that Empire, advantage would doubtless be taken of the Emperor's absence to try the temper of the people—and in any such attempt they would re ceive every possible aid that could be given by the neighbouring Republics of South Nmerica. The Paris Papers give some particulars of the alledged entrance of Kossus BOTZAILIS into Mis solongin with 800 , tnen, and a supply of --money. As the place was a l rea dy straitened for provi sions, which the inere possession of money could not create—the addition of 800 mouths cannot be considered, as being likely to protract the fall of the place.

This !XIIANCERY REPORT. ,The Report of the Chancery Commissioners after due delay, made its appearance, and the public will now be enabled to judge, in some degree, of the benefit the long and protracted consideration of this important point has secured to them. " Parturient mountains have 'ere now produced muscipular abortions ;" we cannot therefore be surprised if such Commissioners as those, to whom the consideration of the practice of the Court of Chancery was referred, were alike unhappy in their conceptions, and tardy in their delivery. Be that as it may, we are dis posed to make the best of a bad matter, and take the good, these Gods provide us as a sort of a God-send, snatched from unwilling hands, and accorded with a very bad grace. Thus much for the benefits the public will reap from this report. The Officcrs of the Court may laugh in their sleeves, but as for the unhappy solicitor, he alone will feel the weight of the recommenda tions of the Chancery Report, nod be made to pay for amendments, (fur in truth they are amendments), about to be introduced into the practice of this miscalled Court of Equity. The fees of the Officers certainly will be diminished, but the Lord High Chancellor, ;l i e Master of the Rolls, and Vice-Chancel lor, are ' 6 to suggest what shall appear to be reasonable with respect to the future emo luments" of officers, o hose fees will be diminished by positive abstraction, or by sharing them with w sundry new claimants,ho are to be nominated to enable this over-grogn moustrosity to carry on the public business." This last hint, as to the appointment of new Officers, is sufficient to sliew the spirit with ‘ t a t sp actually iro• which this report has be en g ot up. W e al ways thought that the multiplicity of Of ficers in the Court of Chancer y was one it is not of ifs likely itsgriev t a o nce b s e but ; v l proved upon. Additional officers are to be ap pointed, but as a sort of salvo for this new burden, they nre to be paid, not indeed by fees, but by something reasonable the CuAsz ccm.on and Co. is to suggest, viz. out of the Public Revenue. One really would think the Public Revenue had no end, was absoluteli in exhaustible. The recommendations of the Commissioners go 1 to expedite the cause, and this they seem to have set about in right down earnest, and perhaps by the aid of these alterations a suitor may arrive at his ruin some year or two earlier than hereto fore ; but ruined he must still inevitably be, for the ;aurL• is not in any degree shorn of its usurped and stolen prerogatives, prerogatives hos. tile to tho libertyof the subject, and in direct con• travention of the fundamental principles of the British Constitution.

It is, however, something to have that made law which before was matter of discretion, and no small matter, that innovation has been permitted to make even a small advance into the transactions of this venerable Court. We must then be content for the present, and hope that when the innova. Lions are grafting on, the ancient practice, they may be, found in some instances incompatible, and further concessions rendered necessary, in order to give effect to those already allowed. One of the wisest alterations that has been suggested by this Report is the erection of a Court of Appeal from the Commisioners of Bank rupts.'' We cannot but confess: 4ik ' wonder by what happy forgeffu4ncss the Commissioners 'stumbled upon this idea, a recommendation that will in the end terminate the bankrupt juris diction of the vest it for every useful purpose io the hands of the.

The Meeting, considering that it was got up for the purpose of showing the strength of the Roman Ca- tholic party, was neither numerous nor respectable. At twelve o'clock the Chair was taken by the Guys:alum Mr. Alderman IV KENNY, on behalf of the Requisitioniats .. proceeded to show that, by the :434.1 Geo, 111. Roman Catholics were eligible to he Members of Lay Corporations. on taking a certain oath, which he was in progress of reading, when he was . stopped by 'a wisper from Alr-Hugh.O'Counor, who intimated to him that no Roman Catholic could take the oath upon which the Worthy Alderman was arguing their inadmissibility. The speech, was concluded by 4 Resolution.... " That the Directors be requested to put one or more Roman 1 Catholics on the House List. ' .. Mr. Gums: css thought that such a proceedingon the pato/ the Directors would be extremely indelicate, If such a mea sure were adopted by them, it would, in fact, have all the ap pearance of dictation to the stockholders, who, king a free body of electors, could not he cowed into voting for any ind‘. victual. They would of course select suet men for the Piece. tion as they conceived most likely to advance the interests of the body at large, and who were best calculated to manage the affairs of the Establishment. Mr. H unit O'CortNOlt, to gratify whose desire for becoming himself a Director, and at whose solicitation these periodical requisitions are signed, made a speech of course. He corn , merited upon the general mismanagement of the Directors,. and cited the particular case of a sum of thirty thousand pounds having been lost to the Bank by the failure of a Protestant Di- • rector—an event which he gravely assured the meeting could not have taken place if there had been even one Roman Catholic on the Direction. The absurdity of this assertion excited con , siderable laughter. After a very irrelevant discussion, in which Mr. Borne, a Barrister, Mr. Alolloy, an Attorney, Mr. Brophy, a wine-tner. chant; Mr. W. L. Guinness, a Beer Brewer, and Air. Nicho las Alahnn, a Bill Broker, took a part, the following Resole:than was unanimously agreed to " That the Court of Directors of the Bank of Ireland do• forthwith instruct the Law Agent of the said Corporation to lay cases before the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, and each of the then Serjeants at Law, whether Roman Catholics are eligible to the office of Directors to the Bank of Ireland, and if they be, what oaths they are requested to take." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HORSHAM, Mancit 20. .Edward Newman was indicted for knowingly uttering at Chichester, on the flth of December, a forged check for the payment of 671., with intent to defraud Messrs. flack and Co. The prisoner had been a fanner at Strom', near Petworth. On the tith of December he presented at. the banking-house of Messrs. Hack and Co., at Chichester, a check for 071.. pay able to " James Johnson or bearer," and purporting to be drawn by Richard Judgen upon Messrs. timeld and Co., bankers at Petworth, one of which iirm was father-in-13.w to a Mr. Judea of that place. The Prisoner told the pay-clerk that his name was James Johnson, and observing that the clerk rather hesitated at the name of Judgen, he said that it was Mr. Juden who kept cash at his father-in-law's bank at Petworth. The clerk, - knowing Mr. Judcn to he a person of credit, and believing the representation made, immediately paid the prisoner the amount of the ;heck, which. was soon after. wards discovered to be a forgery, there being noVatticon of the name of Judgen to be found, and that air. Judea did not kbeip any cash at lus.father-in-law's bank. • ' •• . !'he prisoner said nothing in his defence, but called wit nesszs, who proved that he was a person who had hitherto borne a good character. The Jury found him Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for a similar ofl'ance, in at teting a forged check on the same. day for 951., drawn in the name of Richard Judgen, in favour of James Mills, with intent to defraud Messrs.
